Inside carceri

Pietro Snider

Inside Carceri is the first investigative webdoc about the Italian prison system. A two month journey through 25 institutions, most of them overcrowded, from Naples to Milan. A documentary conceived by a group of independent journalists, Next New Media, and the Antigone Association. All the contents, including over 30 videos, 200 pictures, articles, audio galleries and info graphics, are available on several social media platforms, such as Vimeo and Flickr. The main goal is to encourage the debate on the difficult living conditions in Italian prisons.
